Peppermint Patty Truffles (Vegan)

These peppermint patty truffles are a creamy and minty decadent treat. They are easy to prepare, dairy-free, and perfect for any occasion.

Prep Time 2 20

Total Time 2 20

Servings 25 truffles

3 tbsp plant based butter with salt
2½ cups / 300 grams powdered sugar
120 grams sweetened condensed milk - I used Natures Charm sweetened condensed oat milk
1 tsp peppermint extract

To a medium bowl, add the sweetened condensed milk, powdered sugar, butter and peppermint extract. With a hand mixer, blend the ingredients together until smooth and well combined.
Place the filling into the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to cool and set ( this will make it much easier to scoop and form into balls).
Remove the filling from the refrigerator and start scooping the truffles. Each truffle is about 2 teaspoons of filling. Place each scooped truffle on a parchment lined pan. Once all the truffles are scooped, roll them between your palms to smooth them out. If this becomes too difficult, pop them into the freezer for a few and then continue smooth them out. Once all of the truffles have been shaped and smoothed, place the pan of truffles in the freezer for at least 1 hour. Frozen truffles are easier to dip.

To a small pot, add the chocolate and coconut oil. Heat the mixture over medium heat until all of the chocolate is melted. Make sure to stir the chocolate occasionally during this process. Once melted and well combined, pour the chocolate into a glass one cup measuring cup.
Remove the truffles from the freezer. Using a toothpick, dip each truffle in the chocolate, making sure to knock off any excess chocolate and place the truffle back on the parchment lined pan.
***Allowing the truffles to set for 30 seconds to a minute makes it easier to remove the toothpick. I usually dip 5 truffles at a time and then go back to the first one and start removing the toothpicks.
Once all of the truffles are dipped, I like to drizzle some of the left over chocolate over them. This adds a little decoration but it also covers up the hole left behind by the toothpick. Place the truffles in the refrigerator to set, about 10 to 15 minutes.
Store the truffles in the refrigerator.
